The Gunners have been linked with a move for Schar almost from the moment that the summer window slammed shut, but it would appear that their dithering in the transfer market has allowed Juventus to move ahead of them in the race for Schar.
Any potential deal for the Swiss international could also rest on Basel’s trip to Liverpool in a couple of weeks’ time, with the Swiss champions likely to be keen to keep hold of Schar until the summer if they are able to progress in the Champions League.
